ldns-walk(1)		     General Commands Manual		    ldns-walk(1)

NAME
     ldns-walk - Retrieve the contents of a DNSSEC signed zone

SYNOPSIS
     ldns-walk [ OPTION ] ZONE

DESCRIPTION
     ldns-walk	is  used  to  retrieve the contents of a DNSSEC signed zone.  It
     does this through NSEC-walking (following the chain of  NSEC  records)  and
     'guessing' the next non-existent owner name for each NSEC.

     Note  that  it might get stuck on some wildcard records when used through a
     caching forwarder. This problem can be circumvented by querying the author-
     itative nameserver directly (with the @ argument).

     Of course the nameserver that is used must be DNSSEC-aware.

OPTIONS
     -4     Use only IPv4.

     -6     Use only IPv6.

     -f     Do a 'full' zone walk; by default,	ldns-walk  will  only  show  the
	    names,  and  types	present at those names. If this option is given,
	    all resource records will be printed.

     -s name
	    Start the walk with this owner name. Useful when continuing the walk
	    for a large zone.

     -v verbosity
	    Verbosity level [1-5].

     @ nameserver
	    Send the queries to this nameserver.

BUGS
     The full zone walk function is not complete  yet,	it  does  not  correctly
     print delegation records
